Descriptive Stats

Below are 2 tables for each market and markets combined. The first table is the median value for each numeric column by SVI group, 1 being the least vulnerable and 5 being the most vulnerable. The second table shows the percent of TRUE values for each logical column by SVI group. The first is by properties and the second by total units.

Note that every logical column after PetsAllow is of only units and properties that reported a TRUE value for PetsAllow. Also note that the PI column refers to whether the property is pet inclusive or not based on the properties PI score. Greater than or equal to 50 receives TRUE and less than 50 receives FALSE.
